Feeding Directions: Feed every morning: Offer slightly more food than your tortoise can eat in a day, and allow your pet access to its food for the entire daylight period. Be sure to empty and clean the dish at the end of each day. Feed on a plate or other flat surface: We recommend a plate or other clean, flat surface because tortoises have difficulty picking up food from deep bowls.

Have water available at all times: Your tortoise should have access at all times to a shallow bowl containing fresh, clean water. Also, your tortoise needs to be soaked in shallow warm water: two times weekly for adults; three to four times weekly for juveniles. Pellets can be moistened in water or fruit juice before feeding: Some tortoises find that the softer soaked pellets are easier to pick up.

Excellent Product

I've been purchasing Repti-Cal for 7 years for my 8 year old Tortoise Fred. He loves it and he has a favorite color that he'll eat first. I love Repti-Cal because it contains ALL the vitamins and nutrients, fruits and vegetables that Fred requires all in one. I love the price because it is much cheaper to purchase at Pet Mountain then in other pet supply stores. I love Pet Mountain because I find the brand name products that my pets like at an affordable price. The shipping is outstanding. I love it. I usually get my order within two days after I place the order. WOW. So I don't worry about running out of Fred's dry food before I receive my order. Once there was a mix up with my order. The Sales Lady was so nice to me. She shipped Fred's food over night because I was running low. Wow that was so cool.. Thank You Pet Mountain. I am so glad I found you. My two cats and tortoise are very happy too.. :)

Great Product at a Great Price!

By Sharon from Tempe, AZ

I usually purchase this product retail, but have had some difficulty finding it, so I decided to go to the source and I'm glad I did. The product is considerably less expensive purchasing directly from Pet Mountain, even with shipping charges. And, of course, the main reason I like this product is because my tortoises love this food!

This stuff is a huge favorite of my ornate box turtle, he goes crazy and dives in after trying to attack me first. Mix in some freeze dried fruit from Healthy Herps and you've got a great meal, for a turtle that is.

Great stuff

By Frank from Ridgecrest, CA

"This kibble when soaked in water makes it quick and easy to make sure your tortoises are getting good nutrition. I sometimes add a bit of repti-cal powder to the water before soaking, as a desert tortoise expert recommend. It has a nice fruity smell. Our torts love it, some need to get used to it. One of our cat's nibbles at it, though she eats just about anything they eat because she doesn't want to miss out! :-) Don't worry about getting too much. It stores great over winter.

HAPPY, HEALTHY CALIF DESERT TORTOISES

By KAREN from DOWNEY, CA

On June 13, 2010:

It doesn't matter the size big or small, when they smell the Rep-Cal Tortoise food they come running. I moisten the dry pellets a little before feeding. The Tortoises will eat the Rep-cal first, then the vegetables and lettuce.
I am very glad Rep-cal has stayed consistently the same high quality. Don't improve on what works, no other brand will compare.

Feeding your tortoise couldn't be easier. It would be hard to give your tortoise a diet this balanced without spending a lot of time and money. My leopard wont eat it dry so I soak it in water (the food expands) and he loves it. Great product.

My tortoises love this stuff!

By Mark from Austin, TX

On March 29, 2007:

My tortoises love this stuff. I've been using it for approx 4 years, and they haven't gotten tired of it yet.
Their growth is nice and slow/even. I tend to feed them only every 3 days or so in order to avoid overfeeding and also to encourage appetite.
